Bag donations should be delivered to Neighborhood Captains no later than 9:00am November 14. If you are able to be a Neighborhood Captain or if you can provide one or more bags of food yourself (or with someone else to share the expense), please sign up with your commitment. Meemee Williams and Edith Dixon are tracking names and number of bags promised. Each family's groceries needs to be in a doubled paper bag with handles. If you need paper bags, we will provide them at the Church or deliver them to you.
What's needed in each Grab & Go bag?
2Ib. bag of rice
One 14-18 oz. can/jar or 2 packets of turkey gravy
Two 14-16 oz. cans of green beans
Two 14-16 oz. cans of yams or sweet potatoes
One box of stovetop stuffing mix
One 14-16 oz. can of cranberry sauce or dressing
One pkg. of Hawaiian rolls
One box of cookies or store-bought cookies
Approx. cost is $20 per bag ($17 at Walmart).
Once Neighborhood Captains collect the bags and check that they contain the ingredients, we ask that they deliver to Walton Hall on Wednesday, November 18, or Thursday, Nov. 19. If any ingredients are missing from the bags, we ask that they staple a note on the bag, so that the team can add the item. The FTM team will later add a frozen turkey to your bag.
You can also donate by check or use online giving. Add "Feeding the Multitude" to your check or online note.
Contact Meemee ( cricketwill@yahoo.com) 843-559-3877 or Edith Dixon (Etdixon3539@aol.com) 843-830-5353 with any questions.
Attached is a flyer for Neighborhood Captains to give out. Be sure to fill in your contact information at the bottom so that they can reach you if they have questions. We will also have printed fliers that you can pick up at Walton Hall.

Prayers for Healing
May we who are merely inconvenienced
Remember those whose lives are at stake.
May we who have no risk factors
Remember those most vulnerable.
May we who have the luxury of working from home
Remember those who must choose between
preserving their health or making their rent.
May we who have the flexibility to care for our children when their schools close
Remember those who have no options.
May we who have to cancel our trips
Remember those who have no safe place to go.
May we who are losing our margin money
in the tumult of the economic market
Remember those who have no margin at all.
May we who settle in for a quarantine at home
Remember those who have no home.
As fear grips our country,
let us choose love.
During this time when we cannot
physically wrap our arms around each other,
Let us yet find ways to be the loving embrace of God to our neighbors.
Amen.

For Times of Social Distress or Conflict
Increase, O God, the spirit of neighborliness among us,
that in peril we may uphold one another,
in suffering tend to one another,
and in homelessness, loneliness, or exile befriend one another.
Grant us brave and enduring hearts
that we may strengthen one another,
until the disciplines and testing of these days are ended,
and you again give peace in our time;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
